Command & Conquer Generals and Zero Hour Crash(and burn)
Saturday, August 30, 2025 8/30/25 4:49:09 PM Command & Conquer Generals and Zero Hour. I have repaired and repaired and repaired, but I keep getting the same error after the "splash" screen. [DirectX Error] "Please make sure you have DirectX 8.1 or Higher installed. Also verify that your video card meets the Min. requirements."... I have checked: I have DirectX 12 installed, and have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card. Also: Please excuse my flagrant attempt to get my issue noticed a third time, because I have issued a "Report" twice now for this issue. This is not the first time I have had problems with Command & Conquer games, so please forgive my hesitation in believing they will address this problem quickly. Thank you "EA" for looking at it again this 3rd time (Because of this third, if not direct, request for this problem to be solved) Report code: f5b62003-b0d7-4efc-a98e-c208336631e2 Report code: 79e508d8-c362-4657-8cd5-8d6dba4404e7

Hello, I am writing to report an issue with C&C Rivals. I recently logged in using my Google account on a new device, but the game is not loading. I have already attempted to resolve this by linking my EA ID to my Google account on the EA website, but the game still fails to load. When I checked my account information on the EA website, I found that the "Persona ID" field is empty and cannot be edited. Could you please assist me in resolving this issue as soon as possible?can't run Command & Conquer 3
"Hello, I am writing to report an issue I'm experiencing with Command & Conquer 3 which is part of my Command & Conquer™ The Ultimate Collection through my EA Play subscription. I've noticed that most other games within "The Ultimate Collection" are working without any issues. However, when I attempt to open Command & Conquer 3, it consistently asks me to enter my email and password, despite the fact that I am already logged into the EA app. Furthermore, even when I enter my correct EA account credentials (username and password), the game rejects them, stating they are incorrect. Please note that my EA Play subscription is currently active and valid. Could you please assist me in resolving this specific issue with Command & Conquer 3? I am unable to play it due to this persistent login problem. Thank you for your time and assistance."
Command and conquer rivals needs attention
I'm writing to you today about Command & Conquer Rivals, a game with a passionate and dedicated community. Despite its initial challenges, the game has grown significantly, particularly after a shift in development. The C&C Rivals community is actively involved, hosting tournaments, there was a live tournament in Germany streamed to the whole community with cash prizes for the winner. Additionally the community is constantly seeking ways to improve the game. However, the game is currently experiencing performance issues in several regions, including NAM, APAC, and South America. Despite numerous attempts to reach out to EA support, these issues persist. We believe that with the right attention and support, C&C Rivals can reach its full potential. A few key areas where improvement could be made include: Performance Optimization: Addressing lag and other performance issues in specific regions. Monetization Model Review: Exploring alternative monetization strategies to attract new players and retain existing ones. Community Engagement: Fostering a stronger connection with the community through regular updates and feedback channels. I'm confident that with a renewed focus on C&C Rivals, EA can tap into a passionate fanbase and revitalize this unique game. We're ready to collaborate with EA to make this a reality. Thank you for your time and consideration.
C&C games - "Failed to launch game" error
Greetings, EA support told me to post here as they have no fix currently for this issue nor any other troubleshooting steps to try. (Case #207569798). Also, via the "EA error reporter" (within the EA app) I submitted a report which has the report ID: "b5282740-5a98-41a4-aa8e-f605b90ce194". I'm using Windows 10 Home (22H2 OS Build 19045.5737), fully updated, and EA app v13.437.0.5950 (94974-56e58c512c). On a local user Windows session, C&C3, C&C4 Tiberium Twilight and C&C Red Alert 3 will launch via EA app (ran as admin), but not: 1) C&C and The Covert Operations; 2) C&C Generals and Zero Hour; 3) C&C Red Alert; 4) C&C Red Alert 2; 5) C&C Renegade and; 6) C&C Tiberian Sun and Firestorm. Those six C&C games will all produce the error in the EA app: "Failed to launch game. An error occurred on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later." when attempted to be launched (as described above). These nine C&C games will launch without any problem from the EA app on the admin session. Launching straight C&C95.exe from C&C and The Covert Operation install folder on local user session, with or without admin rights, will run the game just fine in both cases, but the EA app can't launch it! EA support confirmed games should run when launched from EA app on non-admin Windows session. sfc /scannow and dism /online cleanup-image /scanhealth scans have been run. EA app cache was reset. EA app was reinstalled (CCleaner + manually deleted EA related folders in ...\AppData\local, locallow and roaming). All Microsoft Visual C++ versions are up-to-date and were repaired. Graphic driver is up-to-date. Booting with all non-Windows services disabled didn't allow games to boot. Games were repaired. Games were reinstalled (CCleaner + del local, locallow, roaming...). Both the games and EA app directories have all permissions on the local user Windows session (right-click folder > Properties > Security tab > Advanced > Permissions). Creating a new local user account on the PC and launching these six C&C games via the EA app (ran as admin) also produces the error. Fully disabling UAC on admin session sets the UAC on local user Windows session to level 3 ("Always notify me (and do not dim my desktop) when:"). Games received new entitlement. EA support said the "Failed to launch game" issue would be caused when "something in the player PC conflicts with EA app" and "services" could also be the cause. If so, what "services" needs to be running for C&C and The Covert Operations to launch? EDIT (~April 23rd 2025): I hypothesized that some of EA app's processes which are running on the admin session would not be running on the local user session and further tested which processes are running on both sessions when launching C&C and The Covert Operations and identified some differences. Of note, on local user session, launching C&C and The Covert Operations from the EA app (ran as admin) have EABackgroundService.exe launching EAGEP.exe, but that latter process fails to launch EADesktop.exe*32 as sub-process (while it succeeds on admin session) and then EAGEP.exe simply shuts down a few seconds after being launched. (Please see picture below). Also on local user session, when the EA app is running, it is missing one EACefSubProcess.exe (also see the picture below). It seems to me that the issue could lie with the EA app and not the games themselves (since the games launch fine on the admin session). EDIT (June 1st 2025): I updated the EA app today, from version v13.437.0.5950 (94974-56e58c512c) to v13.477.0.5990 (96992-a9584648e1), but the issue still persists. I submitted a new EA app error report with the ID: a110da93-add5-4572-99fd-fdba9ccd474a. EDIT (July 27th 2025): I updated the EA app again today. It's now version 13.515.0.6028 (99438-3b801146c1) and the issue still persists. I submitted a new EA app error report with the ID: 945927f8-124a-4656-8c81-c9b78a771516. Any help to get those games running on non-admin Windows session via the EA app will be much appreciated! Mike [CM Edit - Adding information from OP's separate solution thread] C&C4 - General system error - FIXED When launching C&C4 Tiberium Twilight via the EA app on local user session with EA app ran as admin, the game asks to enter the EA account login credentials. Entering the EA account credentials in the C&C4 login screen and trying to login gives the error message "General system error". (Please see the picture below). On an admin session, launching C&C4 via the EA app and entering the credentials succeeded and the game was able to launch properly. Afterwards on local user session, launching the EA app as admin and from it launching C&C4 had the process of login succeed this time. My intuition tells me that the admin session wrote the files associated with the login process and then the local user session could use them.Files Corrupt - Red Alert 2
I went to play Red Alert 2 yesterday and it said it was installing an update, so I needed to wait til that was complete. When I tried to launch RA2 again, I got the attached error message. I repaired the file, but I keep getting the same message. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. I just want to play my game again. Yuri's Revenge works perfectly fine, btw.
No online features - EA account is restricted
Hi, everyone. Everytime that I try to go online in Command and Conquer Remastered, I receive this message saying that my EA account is restricted from accessing any online features, as seen in the attachment. Already went through all EA Support procedures given by EA Help staff, with no luck until now. From 24 games in my EA library, this is the only one that is blocking me from playing online. No account bans (ever!), Windows 11 PC completely updated , as the drivers, no issues with my EA account regarding any other game, game uninstalled/reinstalled, as well the EA App. Any further help? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
